SECRETS TO COMPOSITION - Paperback version of my book by North Light Books, September 2012

As an artist, my passion lies with interpreting the light on the land, primarily the rolling hills, picturesque creeks, and historic areas near me. Through both plein air and studio paintings, I attempt to give a contemporary response to the landscape with consideration to environmental issues in the still undeveloped areas that reveal the heart and soul of my home state. To achieve this, I use oil as the medium in my attempt to create expressive and pleasing paintings that will last a lifetime or more.

I consider my paintings to be a reflection of my artistry and view of the world. It humbles me to know individuals appreciate my art; in fact, I have been told the soft, welcoming compositions and colors of my landscape paintings bring on feelings of nostalgia and are reminiscent of locations visited in the past.
